More than 13 years after establishing itself on the island, Dunkin’ Donuts is pulling out of the Puerto Rico market, closing its 18 locations on the island that were operated by franchisee Wometco Donas Inc., this media outlet confirmed Wednesday.
Puerto Rico’s retail activity saw a slight dip in July, when activity was down 1.12 percent to $3.10 billion, from the $3.14 billion reported for the same month in 2013, figures released by Puerto Rico Trade and Commerce showed Thursday.
In recent weeks, new executives have moved into positions at Liberty International Underwriters and El Mesón Sandwiches, an insurance and retail operation, respectively.
